We kind of knew they wouldn't drop all the Gen 3 Pokémon at once, so this was sadly expected. Looking forward to catching the new Pokémon!

Cant wait to see how they screw this up.

Plus side, up to 12 Ho Oh now between my two accounts. Smashing those raids like the English Countryside.

Wrote Nianitc and complained about the dropped raids I experienced during the last month and they gave me 10 free passes. If any of you have been going through a similar issue I suggest you do the same.

Yeah, more should do that. I remember an issue where the game screwed up during a raid and lost the pass and got it back after talking to them.

Also,

Is it possible to beat a raid boss Porygon solo? If so what do I need. I have a lot of 2200CP Ursarings that know fighting attack.


Also revives are ridiculously hard to get now. I haven't gotten one at a pokestop in weeks and they are still rare at gym stops and I only get one out of every 10 swipes or so at gyms. Such BS

I have 0 shinies :(

From 234 Pikachu (and 26 Pichu hatches), 596 Magikarp, 25 Sableye, 91 Shuppet and 97 Duskull caught. Though I've not seen one that I've not managed to catch either so throw another 200 onto that pile.

It took me over 800 magikarps to get my shiny magikarp. So, your numbers are very low :P

My Magikarp count is now at 2163 caught. Prob caught 1,500 since the water event, only seen/caught that one.

Every time I see a new update for this game I feel like its something that should have been there from launch

I see the latest APK mine on Reddit has revealed a bunch of new moves are on the way. Nothing for Ho-Oh by the look of it. People there seemed hype as hell for Waterfall with Gyarados.

Also an item that works like a Lucky Egg but for stardust instead of XP. That should be a mega hit for Niantic.

Star Piece items really going to come in handy for 9 10k egg hatches. Esp during 2x stardust events, can you imagine!

So, as someone who completely fell off of Pokemon back in the day after Gen 2, who are the absolute must power-up mon? From the little bit of reading I've done it seems like Tyranitar, Dragonite, and Raikou will still be best in class for this whole generation and that there are only 3-4 really top class Pokemon in Gen 3.

I only know the names of a handful of Pokemon going forward so this will be all new for me.

Gen 3 won't be too exciting. Tyranitar, Dragonite, Machamp, Raikou etc. will still be valuable. Salamence and Metagross might be okay depending on their moves. Groudon/Kyogre will probably take a while.

Fire Pokemon are a bit useless though lol

This shed some light on it for me:

I wouldn't pay too much attention to guides. A lot of them are speculative or downright wrong. Those lists with raid counters especially shouldn't be taken as gospel as it quite rightly depends on the makeout of the raid group.

That list is consistent with everything I've heard from my local play group as to what to pay attention to and quest for.

Maybe some of them will be not so good, or others will rise to the top unexpectedly? I know Ttar was considered something of a disappointment in Go. But for someone with no Gen 3 knowledge it's a good jumping off point on what to try getting.

Hey I love my Ttars but apparently he was supposed to be more powerful or whatever. I dunno, I didn't really play the original games.

Just saying. I've seen infographs where Lugia is one of the top raid counters lol

Or Steelix against Raikou.

Or Omastar but only if you have legacy moves.

Even the game thinks highly of those too for some reason. For a long time it tried to put my only Lugia in like every raid I did no matter what Pokemon I had available, and it's a garbo 80% trash mon. Obviously don't take the websites as gospel, but it's good to have some kind of idea of what to keep and what to ditch when coming at things from a sum-zero of knowledge. Starting points and all that.

Well, the game usually picks what is best for survivability. Wish it do attack instead. It's why blissey / chansey usually were chosen for a long while..

I'm pretty sure Gardevoir and Milotic won't become the bees knees.

Slaking is interesting however. Looking forward how they're going to implement that.
